Industrial door motor replacement in Wallington

Quick answer

Replacing a door motor at a site in Wallington is a chance to upgrade the control panel too, adding inverter control, remotes, loops or traffic lights at the same time.

Town: Wallington
Postcode district: SM6
Area: Greater London
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

Examples of work we can quote for

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Wallington are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Planning the work around your site

Service and repair visits in Wallington are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.

Questions from businesses in Wallington

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Wallington?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.

Will our door in Wallington be tested after the motor is changed?

Yes. We set limits, test the brake and manual override, check safety devices and measure closing forces where required, then give you a written record of the work and test results.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Wallington?

Not always. Broken springs, damaged guides, failed panels, safety device faults and supply problems can all look like a failed motor. We diagnose first so you do not pay for a motor that will not fix the fault.
